Reviews and Ratings

Neil Phillips rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Nose of tomato leaf, anise, sage, oolong tea and stewed cherries. Slight spiced pancetta.

Tart raspberry and cherry on the palate. Chewy tannins with high acid.

This is old-school and demanding; perfect for food. Not beefy, but mid-weight. Great long finish. Will definitely improve with cellaring.

Tasted November 2014.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
